Slow setting emulsions offer extended working times, allowing for thorough mixing and compaction in applications like dense-graded cold mixes and soil stabilization. The slower breaking process ensures complete coating of fine aggregates and fillers, resulting in a uniform and dense mixture. This enhances the structural integrity of the pavement, improving load-bearing capacity and resistance to moisture damage. The improved compaction reduces voids, minimizing the potential for water ingress and subsequent deterioration, thereby extending the road’s service life.
